The Routledge History Handbook of Medieval Revolt charts the
history of medieval rebellion from Spain to Bohemia and from Italy
to England, and includes chapters spanning the centuries between
Imperial Rome and the Reformation. Drawing together an
international group of leading scholars, chapters consider how
uprisings worked, why they happened, whom they implicated, what
they meant to contemporaries, and how we might understand them now.
This collection builds upon new approaches to political history and
communication, and provides new insights into revolt as integral to
medieval political life. Drawing upon research from the social
sciences and literary theory, the essays use revolts and their
sources to explore questions of meaning and communication, identity
and mobilization, the use of violence and the construction of
power. The authors emphasize historical actors' agency, but argue
that access to these actors and their actions is mediated and often
obscured by the texts that report them. Supported by an
introduction and conclusion which survey the previous
historiography of medieval revolt and envisage future directions in
the field, The Routledge History Handbook of Medieval Revolt will
be an essential reference for students and scholars of medieval
political history.
